Kids eating products before getting to the till..A yay or a nay?

As some of you know that this is almost a habit for a lot of people...Is this right, should it be encouraged? Especially for mothers who seemingly have to do this to keep their children quiet or to pay attention. I have seen a lot of adults do it too with grapes, sweets and packs of crisps, biscuit and drinks...But do we all pay at the till? Because this is where my bone of contention lies..

My thoughts for onward elections in Nigeria

        

Independent National Electoral Commission has been the fulcrum in Nigeria's quest for sustainable democracy. A role played well so far and perhaps plays well onward. It should not rest on its oars and the laudable performance of Prof Attahiru Jega's leadership should be consolidated. To this end, the 'new improved' INEC do not need to wait till next national elections to perfect the structure that delivered the sterling record of the moment. It is my opinion that states that have their elections staggered from rest of the country like Kogi, Ekiti and Anambra be used as model to refine the configuration of conducting elections by INEC. If the privilege offered by these states is effectively maximized, 2019 electorates would be better positioned to demand from politicians nothing but good & verifiable achievement. 

Please join me in FORWARD THINKING! dream Nigeria.

Learning from each other

With the emergence of computers, tablets, ipads, game consoles, apps and Nintendos, a lot of parents have left their wards to find learning with these tools easier rather than having a good sit on a couch to influence learning from each other. How many of us can vouch that we still read with or to our kids? Whether biological or random kids? Parents, aunties, uncles and family members don't find the need anymore to sit down together because technology and working life has taken over a lot of these duties. There were times you'd prefer a particular person to do a reading because you enjoy his/her narrative style. Look around properly, a common sight you see now is children owning their own gadgets, bowing on their phones...either chatting online, playing music, playing games or watching films.
A lot of times some parents do not know how well the literacy of their children should be measured. They leave the children to move with the flow and learn as they go.

Does anyone agree with me?
